Finds. Carrington Street, designed thoughtfully and inspired by the rich Art Deco and nautical history that connects to a circa 1946 Ocean Liner style residence. This style of home was inspired by the impossibly glamorous passenger ships that crossed oceans in the 20th century for the wealthy travellers.
The architecture is a story to tell. Curved walls like a ship’s hull, nautical railings, rendered surfaces, porthole-style windows and interiors with marble resemble the craftsmanship and romance of the floating fortresses at sea.
After World War 2, the Ocean Liner style became popular along the coast, with homeowners embracing the tribute to the travelling luxury and romance at sea.
The ocean liner aesthetic blends with the glamour of Art Deco. Between 1920 and 1940, ships like the SS Île de France and SS Normandie became a showcase for modernity, which can be found in Carrington Street’s polished stone, exotic timbers and sculptural lighting. Before air travel transformed global travel, these ships defined an era of unparalleled sophistication and extraordinary style.
